Show/Hide Labels in Acrobat Adobe Form

[sonjak79766063]

I’ve created a form and below is a snag-it of part of the form in question.

The drop-down “Expenditure Type:” has an option “Other” as one of the selections. When “Other” is selected the following appears:

Underneath the second row I have labels. I’m wondering if there is a way to hide/show the “Acct Code” and “Expenditure Type” (squared in red) when

Hide "Acct Code" and Expenditure Type" when the option "Other" is not selected

Show "Acct Code" and Expenditure Type" when the option "Other" is selected

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

As the custom calculation script of the drop-down enter this code:

if (event.value=="Other") {
     this.getField("Acct Code").display = display.visible;
     this.getField("Expenditure Type").display = display.visible;
} else {
     this.getField("Acct Code").display = display.hidden;
     this.getField("Expenditure Type").display = display.hidden;
}

I’ve tried the coding provided in the correct location and it does not seem to be working. The “Acct Code” and “Expenditure Type” are “Add Text” boxes created in Edit PDF Tool, and not a "Text Field" created in Prepare Form Tool. I apologize if I confused the terms.

Please let me know if there is a way to show/hide these fields, if not, is there another solution?

Thanks again for your assistance.

You should use text fields for this.

Great suggestion. I used text fields and got it to work - partially.

How do I auto-populate the text fields with the labels needed "Acct Code" and "Expenditure Type"?

You can enter those values as their default values.

Thank you so much.
